Smart picks for adults and kiddos alike

For when mobility is key

• Charge 20 PD will get you another 1.5 charges to your smartphone and takes up almost no space in your go bag.
• SolarPanel 5+ slides easily into laptop sleeves in a backpack and the 360 kickstand means you can position and power up wherever you might be.
• SunLight 100 is our portable light with an integrated solar panel on the back to have a fully sustainable lighting system.
• HeadLamp 750's front and rear light give it double duty as a bike light for anyone on to go and the pass-thru charging means you can connect to Charge 20 and extend your real-time runtimes by several hours – helpful if you're trying to power through a long night.

Bonus: All of this gear works for camping, too. One of the best ways to be prepared is to be familiar with the gear in your kit. By utilizing items that you can also use for camping, overlanding, or hiking, this gives you a chance to become an expert on setup, operations, and energy conservation. Whatever your emergency needs may be, you can save today by building you own custom combo at the BioLite Shop: add [4] or more qualifying items to your cart and we'll knock 10% off, no code required.

Stay safe out there.
